This special DTE report looks at the context of current issues in forest policy in Indonesia (Part I), describes recent policy changes (Part II) and explores alternatives for sustainable futures for forest peoples (Part III). The report makes the case for fundamental reform which puts community decision-making and recognition of adat rights at the heart of forest management in Indonesia.
The Bahasa Indonesia versions of Part I and Part II are on our archived website.
